This is the first time for me. I read an excerpt from that story, but haven't picked up Dangerous Women yet, so I haven't read the whole thing.

I have not read any of the others yet. Was in need of something short and decided on Brandon's contribution. Will get to the others soon.
So jealous of you for getting to meet Brandon.

I keep on staring at them. They make me oh so happy.
I've met him twice, once at a WoT signing in Dayton and once at Gencon last year. I'm going to need to see him every few years so I can get all of my Stormlight books signed over time.
Are you guys moving onto WoR anytime soon? I wanted to take a break and read some of my group reads before moving onto it.

LOL at the cat.I have a bunch of books I wanna get through before WoR... at least 4 or 5. However it´s already in the mail on its way to me, should get here next week... and I´ve been known to abandon all plans once I get a book in my hands.
But yeah, the plan is to begin reading WoR in a month or so.
Grumpy Cat aside, I'll need a break when I finally finish. Though I guess technically I've been on one for the last week or so.
LOL! Chris, my comment was definitely not directed at you. I thought you abandoned it altogether?Paolo, yeah I actually have it loaded on my Nook. I'm resisting so far only because TWOK put me behind on group reads.
I had already linked this but I´ll do it again: The Way of Kings RereadThis re-read takes a close look at TWOK chapter by chapter, assuming everyone has already read the entire thing so there is discussion of early events with the knowledge of how the book ends. Many interesting thoughts, especially in the comments section which is often more interesting than the posts themselves. I´m going through this slowly, just a couple posts per day (each post covers 2 chapters usually) when I get a little while of downtime at work. I´m picking up on lots of stuff I missed going through it the first time.
The re-read stops at chapter 59 though, since they decided to take a break when WoR was released. It´ll eventually get going again with one post per week and then presumably moving onto WoR.
edit - you should be warned though that the commments section is full of spoilers for other Sanderson novels like Mistborn, and sometimes they´re not clearly marked.

Oh no. Not completely. I thought I might have to put it on pause, but not DNF. It's still ringing as a 4-5 star book, even with my difficulties.
Because their my difficulties. And right now those would apply to a 5 page pamphlet.
So no, I didn't abandon it. It might have abandoned me! lol

Mine is not signed either, but i did get a signed WoK via Brandon's website. You are definitely going to drop everything once you get this beauty delivered.

I did this re-read too. Comments kept me up to date on all the interesting theories and the stuff I missed.
Oops. 4 inch screens are not the best when it comes to replying to the right post lol. My apologies.

I have it bookmarked, but haven't actually gotten around to reading it. That's a good idea of reading a few chapters everyday.
Hi guys! I finished the book yesterday... maybe I'm a little late ahah :) Anyway I loved it! The last part was so epic and the epilogue... *.*I'll probably buy it in hardcover asap as this book deserves it!
